III. MICHAIAH, Son of Gemariah. He informed the Princes of Judah, that Baruch had read the Prophecies of the Prophet Jeremiah then in Prison, in the Temple before all the People. This occasioned Baruch to be brought before King Jehoiakim, who cut Jeremiah’s Book in Pieces with a Penknife, and threw it into the Fire. This happened in the Year of the World 3399, before Christ 601, before the Vulgar Æra 605. See Jerem. xxxvi. 11, 12, 13.
